Daff Punk: A Classic Style of Album Production

This is one of the first times I feel like we hear Daff Punk sing a pop song, like a proper pop song. We've heard them croon in this vocoder voice before, but even their hits like harder, better, faster, stronger are not structured like a top 40 pop hit. There's a moment in this track that illustrates exactly what you're talking about. That is so classic Daff Punk to introduce different ideas and then collide them all together at the end. They were drawing on a very different set of references, the Eagles Hotel, California, Fleetwood Max, Rumors, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Classic Rock.
